Hello Moms! How has your Christmas season been thus far? Well, it's almost over. Are you excited for Christmas? For those of you who celebrate the Christmas holiday, I must tell you, this Christmas season has not been the cheeriest for me. I have been sick with an ear and sinus infection. Caring for a preschooler when ill is not the easiest. However, I have managed. I will say that being sick and having a demanding work schedule has taken a lot of the enthusiasm for Christmas out of me. But I am not complaining. I say all this to say that I have reflected on the meaning of Christmas through all of this.
I was the one who, while my son was in the utero said I was not going to participate with my child in the commercial nature of Christmas yet I found myself every year making a list of gifts for him. How far I strayed from my initial plan. But I found myself the last couple of days wondering how much of a Christmas I wanted my son to have. I wanted him to know that Christmas was not at all about getting a whole bunch of toys, but it was a birthday celebration for Jesus...Emmanuel...Messiah. I want him to know that. I don't think he really does. I have time, right?
As you and yours settle down and anticipate the morning light to gift each other with items of love, I want you to remember this: They are just that, gifts of Love...full of passion and sacrifice.
Blessings to you Moms out there in Cyberspace...Merry Christmas,
Aurellia
